Andy Warhol, (b. 1928), in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is famed for his iconic contributions to the Pop Art movement. Warhol’s groundbreaking work melted the borders between high art and popular culture, transforming everyday objects and celebrity icons into profound artistic statements.

Warhol’s style is instantly recognisable. His depictions of Campbell’s Soup cans, Marilyn Monroe, and other cultural icons challenged traditional art conventions and reflected the consumerism and mass media influence of his era. Warhol's studio, The Factory, became a hub of creativity, drawing together artists, celebrities, and socialites, and further solidifying his impact on contemporary art and culture.
